Impressions of using Morinaga's "Confectionary Service" for offices for about a month

What was a road bike blog? It is a state, but today about morinaga's candy service. The company has been equipped with office glicos for a long time, and all employees were doing metabolic activities, but morinaga's candy service was newly installed by introducing it.

The difference with Office Glico is that Office Glico has a lineup of 100 yen, 150 yen, and 200 yen in cash payments, while Morinaga's candy service can be priced in units of 1 yen by card payment by smartphone app. The system reads the barcode of the product with the camera of the smartphone and settles with a card registered in advance. This service, apparently the system itself is not Morinaga, but the Yamato System Development of the Yamato Group, which is the same as Kuroneko Yamato, and Yamato System Development seems to provide services to Morinaga. http://lnews.jp/2016/09/i092307.html

It was an impression that it was a little over a month after introduction, but first of all, there were many opinions that downloading the smartphone app and registering a credit card was troublesome. As a result, I think that about 2 to 3 employees including me are actually using it continuously, so the impression that I tried will be my only impression.

I myself buy Pringles about once every two days, but it is troublesome to read the QR code of the confectionery BOX every time. I think that it is for the purpose of preventing mistakes of BOX, but usually it seems that there is almost no buying from a different BOX every time you purchase, so I do not understand the meaning of reading every time. Is it common for this system to be installed in one office?

Next, I want you to be able to repur order from the favorites list of products and the purchase history. Even when buying the same thing, I think that it is easier to repurchase from history etc. than the procedure of reading the barcode of the product with the camera. I think that if there is no work to omit these two and read with the camera, I think that it will be easier to buy …

Finally, I would like to request the product you want from the catalog. I think that inventory management etc. are done because it is communicating by card payment, but in that case, I want to be able to see the catalog on my smartphone and request the product I want to replenish next.

Due to some cumbersome procedures, it seems that the utilization rate of easier office glicos that can be bought for one coin (or two coins) is high. Because it is an analog method that does not manage inventory on the service side, it will come to check the replenishment of products every week and labor costs , but I think that it is possible to manage inventory on the service side with a vending machine method that pays in cash, but it will be quite difficult because it will use the company's network for communication with the service side. Do you use a mobile network using the trendy MVNO per vending machine? (laughs)

The label is the original lineup. The lineup has been biased because few others use it.

According to the news release, it is written that the service side is an efficient product replenishment by managing inventory, but I think that there are various improvements such as whether the app side has not confirmed the stock, or it is possible to put a product that is not in stock from the product list from the product list, the procedure is troublesome, and there are various improvements. If it is as it is, there are few users and it seems to be removed from the company …
